I ate another hard drive, so I think this time around I'm going to try a new OS just for shits. Right now I'm running Linspire Live so I don't have to use a broken hard drive, but once I get a new one, I don't know what to run. I'm liking Linspire due to its simplicity and since all my drivers seem to be working, but I don't know that I want to spend $50 for a full copy of it. I have an older copy of Freespire Live, but I couldn't get the wireless networking to work with it. I've heard that BSD would be good to learn to help me to learn Cisco, but I don't know how true that is.
All that I am really looking for is something to use as an every day desktop, that I can run IM programs on, web browse and maybe play some music. I'd rather not have something that would take a lot of learning just to use the basic functions.
